The good folks at Central Coast Underground are hosting a very live show Friday night at Blue Fin in Monterey.

San Jose reggae band Aivar (www.aivarmusic.com) have a nice little buzz going after getting a spot on the 2009 Van's Warped Tour stop at Shoreline Amphitheater. They have earned a loyal following in their hometown and bring that vibe to Monterey, sharing a bill with CCU stalwarts Realization, Joint Venture, Solis Cin and Oneself DiVinci. $5 cover. Show starts at 9 p.m.
